Newmen GM326 Mechanical Keyboard,Wired Gaming Keyboard,75% Percent TKL Hot Swappable Compact LED Backlit USB C Mechanical Gaming Keyboards with Knob for PC Windows Mac,QWERTY Layout,White,Red Switches

Excellent mechanical keyboard with a sleek compact design and amazing RGB lighting effects. The 75% layout saves desk space while still being comfortable for gaming and work. Love the volume control knob, hot-swappable switches, and smooth USB-C connection. Feels premium, responsive, and comfortable even after long use.

I bought this keyboard not expecting much, and I've honestly been blown away so far. Out of the box, it didn't sound fantastic (very clacky and hollow sounding) but the switches felt relatively nice to type on, although they do come unlubed (the stabilisers are lubed however). The LED backlight is quite nice, it's not addressable LEDs so if thats something you care about you may want to look elsewhere, but the colouring is nice and gives off an almost pastel colour. The case is quite easy to open, there are three clasps on the front and back holding the two pieces together so its incredibly moddable if you're into modding your keyboard, although I'm yet to figure out how to take the knob off so plate foam may be out of the question. Overall it's good straight out of the box, if a little clacky. Now onto modding (keyboard enthusiasts, this section is for you). To mod this keyboard, i added several layers of PVC tape to the underside of the motherboard, added some foam and blue tac (to emulate silicone) in the case itself, and lubed the switches since they are 100% hot swappable, although some of the hot swap sockets are rather tight so they required a little more force. With these mods, the keyboard easily sounds like a £80 keyboard. I also added some foam to the space bar which really helped it thock. If you're after a relatively cheap keyboard thats easy to mod, I really don't think you can go wrong with this one. It is important to note, however, that this board only supports 3-pin switches, so you may have to clip any 5-pin switches if you wish to use them. Overall, the keyboard sounds amazing after a couple of mods, and I can imagine it would sound like an enthusiast grade keyboard with a little bit of modding and some nicer switches and keycaps. Lubing the stock switches does improve the sound greatly, but higher quality switches would definitely take it to a new level.

The keyboard works well, with good responsiveness and the typing feels at par. It's great value, and feels great in terms of flex, so no issues with the build quality/durability. There's no battery, expected for the price, but a cable is included in the box. My one gripe is that the colours aren't great in the RGB, as they stick to one colour of rainbow, so I tend to keep it off.

sounds really nice and feels good and appears very nice the value for money is amazing

Nice keyboard with pressure sensitive keys that rest under your fingertips. Very quiet and easy to use. very comfortable on all hands

This was my first mechanical keyboard ever, and it was satisfying. I got an upgrade and tried more models on my colleague’s desktop. After a while, I came back to it, and I felt it didn’t feel mechanical and it felt like a normal keyboard with a mechanical sound. The quality of the keyboard is good; you can connect it to your PC with any type-C cable, and this makes it outstanding. It has no delay in gaming (I was playing Dota 2 with it). Its size is compact and nice; the brightness and the LED colours are lovely, and a few of my friends asked me to have this because of that. It has enough programmes for LED to not get bored with it.

I adore this, I bought it because my other keyboard didnt have keycaps i could change for prettier ones, I also love how this one sounds, it's so satisfying and has made me want to do my college work just to use it more lol

This keyboard is a good, cheap alternative to many high-end keyboards; however, this isn't without its drawbacks. There is a lot of flex in the base plate and, while it is hot swappable, the switches are very difficult to remove, though I suspect this is because it's brand new and is possibly just stiff. Overall, this gets the job done and does what it says on the tin, but it's clear the quality is not as good as some of the more expensive ones, especially in the overall body and keycap quality. I returned mine because I wanted one with a sturdy or metal baseplate, and I believe this may not hold up, but I think it's a very good keyboard for those on a budget
